The web was invented by a scientist for scientists. Yet, partly because of its intrinsic conservatism, science has in some ways been slow to make the most of what the web has to offer. Timo Hannay will look at some examples of scientists (and even science publishers) exploiting the web in interesting ways, and discuss what this might mean for the future of science itself. For more info, check out Hannay’s blog.

David Weinberger has provided a synopsis of Timo’s presentation here. Recommended. […]
